What is recorded here
Moss and age have swallowed the hounds, yet the lozenge still protrudes above the back door like a forgotten promise. The farmhouse has stood empty for decades, but the plaque remains embedded in the wall, waiting for someone to remember what it marked.
Affixed to the wall above the back door of a disused, late-18th/19th century farmhouse abutting Reeves castle (KD015-002001-). A small plaque (est. dims. Wth c. 0.4m; H c. 0.5m) carries a horizontally elongated lozenge motif with small central boss, which is flanked above by two more bosses, above which are a further two, slightly smaller bosses, each of which appears to carry an animal motif (? a hound), obscured by dense green-mould.
